Toronto is Canada’s largest city. It has several beautiful sights and attractions that can be explored by tourists and locals alike. The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is one of the most popular museums, famed for the crystals, dinosaurs, and more on display.

The ROM first opened its doors in 1914. In 2007, a futuristic installation of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal was added. Today the museum has a wide array of natural history, art, and culture collections from all over the world and times in history. It’s also known for hosting exhibitions from all around the world.

Kensington Market encapsulates Toronto’s cultural melting pot with eccentric vintage boutiques, bars, cafés, and restaurants dotting its vibrant streets, making it a great place to visit. A street carnival called Pedestrian Sundays takes over the streets once a month throughout the summer. It features colorful displays celebrating food, music, and rich culture.

Finally, Casa Loma is a building with features similar to a medieval castle. It was erected in 1914 for a Canadian multi-millionaire. The building now functions as a museum and has about 100 rooms and three dozen bathrooms. The castle also comprises decorated apartments, secret tunnels, an 800-foot tunnel, towers, stables, and five acres of estate gardens.
